Ukrainian National Grid is the targeted state scientific and technological project (program) on the development and implementation of grid-technologies for 2009-2013, adopted by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine in 2009.

The project objective is to build a national grid-infrastructure and to introduce grid-technologies in all areas of scientific, social and economic activities in Ukraine, as well as to train specialists on grid-technologies.

The following management bodies are created for project control:

Interdepartmental Coordinating Council, which defines the general principles of development, grid infrastructure program and operational plans;

Project Coordination Committee, which is the executive body and has the authority to represent the national grid-infrastructure at the national and international levels.

Basic Coordination Centre (BCC), which is responsible for operation of the national grid-infrastructure.

Bogolyubov Institute for Theoretical Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine is the basic organization for the implementation of the Project UNG.

BCC provides management and coordination of works on supporting the operation of the national grid-infrastructure.
